Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates, also known as carbs, saccharides, sugars or starches are the most abundant food source and a key form of energy for your body. Once ingested your body transforms carbohydrates into glucose which is used by your body as an energy source for your cells, tissues and organs.

Fat is important in your diet because it gives you energy and helps your body absorb vitamins. Fat is stored in your body in the form of fatty acids. Fatty acids are classified in three different types or families: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

Proteins are present in every cell of your body and are crucial to build and maintain your bones, muscles and skin. Sources of proteins include meat, dairy products, nuts, beans and some grains. It is important to eat foods with the appropriate amount of dietary protein every day because your body does not store protein in the same way fats and carbohydrates are stored.

Minerals

Minerals are chemical elements required by your body to grow and stay healthy. There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals are needed by your body needs in larger amounts, while trace minerals are needed by your body in small amounts.

Cholesterol is a fat like chemical compound that your body requires to build cell membranes and to produce vitamin D and hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Although your body makes all the cholesterol it needs, this nutrient is commonly found in foods like meat, eggs and cheese.

Footnotes

Percent daily values are based on a 2,000 calorie reference diet. Factors like age, gender and level of physical activity may affect your daily required values.

Dietary Recommendations

A healthy eating pattern that accounts for all foods and beverages within an appropriate calorie level could help achieve and maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Healthy eating habits include the following:

Vegetables from all subgroups, including dark, green, red and orange vegetables and also beans and peas

Vitamins

Vitamins are organic compounds required by your body to grow and develop normally. A balanced diet with a variety of foods is the best way to get the 13 different vitamins that your body requires. The 13 vitamins your body needs are:

Water soluble vitamins are vitamin B-3 (niacin), vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine), vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and folic acide. Water soluble vitamins are easily absorbed by the body but are not stored in large amounts. The kidneys remove any water soluble vitamins that are not needed by the body.

Fat soluble vitamins are vitamin A and vitamin D. Fat soluble vitamins are absorbed with the help of bile acids and are stored by the body as needed.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates, also known as carbs, saccharides, sugars or starches are the most abundant food source and a key form of energy for your body. Once ingested your body transforms carbohydrates into glucose (blood sugar) which is used by your body as an energy source for your cells, tissues and organs.

Depending on their chemical structure carbohydrates are classified as simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates are sugars that provide a quick source of energy. Simple carbohydrates sources include sugars, bread or candies. Complex carbohydrates are made of long chains of sugar molecules and are generally considered more healthful. Complex carbohydrates sources include fruits, wholegrain pasta, vegetables and wholegrains.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines 2015-2020 recommend limiting to 45%-65% your daily energy sources from carbohydrates. A maximum of 10 % of your daily energy sources should come from simple carbohydrates (sugar, glucose). A healthy 2,000 calorie diet should include between 225 to 325 grams of carbs per day.

Carbohydrates not used by the body are stored in your liver and muscles for when it is needed. A diet with excessive carbohydrates consumption combined with a reduction of physical activity increases your risk of obesity.

Fats & Fatty Acids

Fats are a type of nutrients that your body needs in moderation. Fat is important in your diet because it gives you energy and helps your body absorb vitamins. Fat is stored in your body in the form of fatty acids. Fatty acids are molecules made of chains of carbons with hydrogens attached to them. Fatty acids are classified in three different types or families: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.

The names of the types of fatty acids describe whether the structure of the fatty acid is fully loaded with hydrogen or not.

Saturated fatty acids are molecules fully loaded with hydrogen. Saturated fats molecules stack tightly and are usually solid at room, like butter or lard. Saturated fats increase blood cholesterol levels and are generally considered not very healthful. However, saturated fats are useful sources of energy.

Monounsaturated fatty acids are missing one pair of hydrogens creating a double bond in the fat molecule. Naturally occurring sources of monounsaturated fatty acids include olive oil and oleic acid.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are missing more than one pair of hydrogens forming molecules with two, three and four double bonds. Sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids include most vegetable and fish oils.

As a rule of thumb try to avoid too much butter, shortening or lard and use instead natural oils like canola, olive, safflower, sesame, or sunflower.

Keep in mind that fats have twice as many calories as proteins or carbohydrates. One gram fat is equivalent to 9 calories.

Proteins & Amino Acids

Proteins are present in every cell of your body and are crucial to build and maintain your bones, muscles and skin. Proteins are the second most common molecule in the human body. It is important to eat foods with the appropriate amount of dietary protein every day because your body does not store protein in the same way fats and carbohydrates are stored. The amount of proteins your body needs depends on factors like age, sex, and level of physical activity.

From a nutritional standpoint protein are classified by is its amino acid composition. Proteins from meat and other animal sources are complete proteins because they supply all of the amino acids required by your body. Meanwhile, proteins from plant sources are incomplete because a single plan doesn’t have all of the amino acids that your body needs.

Sources of proteins include meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, nuts, legumes and some grains. A diet that includes different types of plant proteins every day should provide you with all of the amino acids your body needs.

Minerals

Minerals are chemical elements required by your body to grow and stay healthy. There are two kinds of minerals: macrominerals and trace minerals. Macrominerals include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride and sulfur and are needed by your body needs in larger amounts. Trace minerals include iron, copper, iodine, zinc, fluoride, and selenium and are needed by your body in small amounts.

Minerals play different important roles in your body, including helping to keep your muscles, heart, bones and brain working properly. Also, minerals are important to help your body synthetize enzymes and hormones.

Minerals are obtained by eating a diverse variety of foods as part of a healthy diet.

Sterols

Cholesterol is a fat like chemical compound that your body requires to build cell membranes and to produce vitamin D and hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Although your body makes all the cholesterol it needs, this nutrient is commonly found in foods like meat, eggs and cheese.
